What's it written in? Surely could just write a function that checks for the gay variables by name and then removes them? That way you just run it when it updates and it slices them out.

I can't even pretend to know. All the game data is in .json files, but I have no clue what language is being used. The data files open up fine in Notepad++, so it's readily editable, at least.

If you’re trying to remove certain items (like flags or cosmetic variants), you can fork the repo and edit the item data. You could redirect image or asset references to blank or alternate textures and simply rename the flags still generate but as different kinds of flags with different names and icons while continually pulling upstream updates.

I, however, choose to use pride flags as tinder for house fires.

I'm probably too retarded for forking; I barely know a damn thing about the basics of programming, much less forking something off of a github and keeping up with it/forcing it to retain whatever garbage I crowbar in. My thought was to make it generate a different flag from one of the other variants (country or state), rather than cut them out entirely in case that breaks my saves.
Somehow, I haven't gotten a house to properly catch fire yet. I wonder if TLG changed the propagation mechanics or something? I know it made fires require some kind of tinder item to catch, but the fucking thing won't catch no matter how many 2x2 piles of couches I make in the living room.

Json is related to java, but it should just be a way to contain information. Its a matter of structure rather than learning a language.

There are mods that can turn guns or books into more generic versions. Look in generic guns. Essentially copying how it handles things is probably best for removing other items. Firearms migration does the swap and the other files hold the ids of what it swaps to. I have never modded anything though so its a guess.

That's a better idea than I had, thanks. I'll have to take a look when I get a good chance and see if I can't figure anything out about how to make it work.
 
You guys remember that fork for DDA called The Last Generation by the mystery meat person known as Worm Girl? Well...

Classic case of "you're only allowed to play my game my way." Definitely tranny behavior. Comments from the Plebbit post are a mix of "what in tarnation" and "IT'S THEIR FORK SO THEY'RE ALLOWED TO BRICK YOUR SHIT IF THEY WANT REEEEEEE." Absolutely state of DDA forks. Guess I'll stick with BN...

That's unfortunate, to say the least. What is it about this game and its progeny that attracts control freaks like stink on shit?
I just want a lightweight roguelike that isn't developed or maintained by psychotic speds to kill time between bursts of dealing with subliterate truckies on my shift, since anything with better graphics will make the work computers implode. Christ alive, I'm going to have to scour Roguebasin and/or GOG for shit at this rate.

Open source and autism, as fun as it is to have a project developed by comunity only and see how it evolves you will at some point have a weirdo that wants to take the reigns of it and make its own, this is an issue that is not solely on this game, it happens to mod comunities, it happened to linux and programming comunities in general and it happened to rplace and wplace.
Long gone are the days were you could have a project like this and not turn into a mess, mentally ill freaks ruin everything and need to be bullied out of the internet.
